About this listen

They were among the most talented footballers of their generation.
On the pitch they shone and thrilled fans around the world – but off it, they vanished into bars, clubs, and endless parties. They wasted a talent most players could only dream of.
The third episode of Footy Past Stories brings the tales of five football legends united by one thing – incredible talent and self-destruction.
Diego Maradona. Paul Gascoigne. George Best. Garrincha. Ronaldinho. Five football geniuses who lost their most important match – the one against themselves.
You’ll hear how they battled cocaine, drank even on match days, became symbols of fame and loneliness, faded away in illness and poverty, and lost the glory they once owned.
